  • Biography/ Background

    I am an Associate Professor in Global Change Ecology working at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Environment Institute and Department for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I lead the Biodiversity and Climate theme at the Environment Institute and I am an Associate Dean International in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Faculty.  

    My research interests are diverse, and include ecological modelling, global change biology, biogeography, climate science, quantitative ecology and conservation biology.

    As trans-disciplinary scientist, my research brings a range of critical skills to the topic of global environmental change on natural systems: an area characterised by complexity and some irreducible uncertainty. My research blends theoretical and empirical approaches. It uses the latest developments in macroecology, climatology, paleoecology and genomics to improve the way in which ecological-model forecasts are generated, interpreted, and used to protect natural systems for long-term resource sustainability.

    By unveiling the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped past and current-day patterns of biodiversity, my research is providing a realworld foundation for better anticipating what the future may bring under accelerated rates of climate change.

  • Research Interests

     

    Global extinction rates have soared over the past century, due predominantly to the resource demands of a burgeoning human population. Shifting land-use and wildlife exploitation, and elevated rates of competition and predation by invasive organisms, have reduced the range and abundance of many species, directly causing severe biodiversity loss at local scales, and indirectly limiting the scope for sufficient ecological and evolutionary adaptation to future environmental change. Managing these human-mediated impacts continues to be a clear focus for global change ecologists and conservation biologists, but with an increasing acknowledgement that extinction drivers are usually interacting and self-reinforcing. Understanding how biodiversity will respond to future human impacts requires innovative new approaches which explicitly couple ecological and climatic-geophysical processes. A central theme of my research is delivering the predictive tools required to anticipate ecological responses to climate change in the context of other human-driven threatening processes.

     

    Present projects include:

    • Determining how past responses of biodiversity to climate change can directly inform and guide broad-scale conservation policies aimed at reducing risks to natural systems.

    • Integrating experimental approaches, paleorecords and process-based models to better anticipate and manage species- to ecosystem-level responses to climate change

    • Establishing the mechanisms and processes that govern the structure and dynamics of diversity.

    • Developing biogeographic guidelines that can prevent future extinctions

    • Determining whether there are general patterns in the spatial dynamics of range collapses.
